It seems that clowns are a trend, at least when it comes to commercials. Last week we featured a story that discussed the Walmart Clown Ad.
Not to be outdone, kgb has released it’s own commercial featuring clowns. In case your not familiar with the kgb service, the idea is pretty simple. Use your mobile phone to text a question to the kgb service and for 99 cents you get the answer texted to your phone. Their selling point is that kgb is more efficient that searching the web.
The commercial, which is rumored to be airing during this year’s Super Bowl, features two clowns, one looks very professional and shows children enjoying his performance. The other performer has clown makeup that looks like something out of a horror movie, and of gets similar restults.
So, what do you think? Are commercials like this good for business, or will they make people hesitant to hire a clown for their children’s party? Do they contribute to coulrophobia? Share your ideas in the comment area below.

I have Holiday The Clown up on many different service, such as Gig Master, Party Pop, Clown For Hire, and more. I also have a web site for Holiday The Clown, and I run ads in many family sources. The services have great search engines which aids me in booking. The parents has to do their homework for the style of party they wish to book. I will not book directly email only and pay pal. I want to talk directly to the client to aid them and help them in their booking of a clown. I tell the clients my business details and my clowning style, I also tell them that many agents may just send out anyone to fill the job. You must educate the client, that your a professional clown. I tell them my real job is clowning, I am a full time working. I have clients now calling and stating that they want a real clown show, No Balloons, No Face Painting, a show……………….Something to think about….Be A CLOWN
